Moon Puddles on my mind
Tell myself I've no regrets
While hands hover
Over the reset
Button on your lips
Anatomy of fingertips
Holding on to every chance I've missed
Are you shading in the darker sides of life
Drawing all the parallels
Dip your brush
In the craters of my heart
I'll be standing in the sea
Waiting for you to find me
Waves crashing
Over and over
There's a pull I cannot push
Fallen beneath the hush
Of waves crashing
Over and over
Are you shading in the darker sides of life
Swinging on the parallels
Dip your brush
In the craters of my heart

Mother Mother

Mother mother who was I
To call myself a man
When the water broke the dam
I have teeth, my how they’ve grown
And fluoride in my bones
I’ve thought of coming home
Lilies floating on the pools
In craters on the moon
And growing through the ground
Up above the violet sky
Moonlight in my eyes
But darkness all around
Do I hear stones
At my window
Or is it hail
Or maybe rain
I can feel
Flood waters coming
To wash you away again
Levels lower now each day
Since you’ve gone away
Herons legs aground
Like yard sticks in the sand
Painted by the hands
Of people who were drowned
Do I hear stones
At my window
Or is it hail
Or maybe rain
I can feel
Flood waters coming
To wash you away again

Everyone’s an avatar
You don’t have to go far to find me
I once saw a shooting star
From light years away
But you play your games
Of needles in haystacks
It seems a shame
That I do the same
If all the fields
Were sewn with steel
I’d comb the land
For a single strand of hay
I often wonder where you are
Aimlessly searching
Tying golden thread around
The milky way
Still playing games
Of needles in haystacks
It seems a shame
That you do the same
If all the fields
Were sewn with steel
I’d comb the land
For a single strand of hay

Parting

We were talking last night
When the clouds might
Have parted like a head of hair
The moon was so big
I could hardly dig
A hole wide enough to hide
I’m in the spotlight
Not doing it right
I’m in the spotlight
I get stage fright
When all I should do is just
Lean over to you
If I could use my powers
To control the hours
I’d slow them down to a stop
In this scene
I was seventeen
And I’ve never grown up
I’m in the spotlight
Not doing it right
I’m in the spotlight
I get stage fright
When all I should do is just
Lean over to you
But I could turn it around
Are you busy this year
Or maybe next year
I could meet you back there
I could part my hair
Like it looked when I knew you
You could say it’s time
That I made my mind
But it’s still just bricks
Building walls
Just to watch them fall
In the cement mix
But I could turn it around
Are you busy this year
Or maybe next year
I could meet you back there
I could part my hair
Like it looked when I knew you

Forgotten Path

I found my way
No streetlight
Your eyes were bright
Bright enough to guide
Shining so bright
No matter where you go
If I remember right
We saw a shooting star
You are so bright
No matter where I go
Lighting up
Lightning up my mind
Lighting up
Lighting up my mind
Turning the lamp
Out to the sea
Black waves tower
Over me
Wet to the bone
I write a note
And tie it to
A sinking stone
Lighting up
Lighting up my mind
